SINGAPORE - Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that he looked forward to building stronger ties between the republic and Malaysia, including the state of Perak.

"Glad we could meet face-to-face again now that borders have reopened. We discussed regional developments and areas where Singapore and Perak can strengthen cooperation," Lee wrote.

He appended his posting with a photo of him and Sultan Nazrin Shah.

Joining them at the meeting were President of Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council of Perak Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini and the republic's Foreign Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.
